Of those involved, Ricciardo was one of only two to carry on, though his car was heavily compromised as a result.
“Front wing was damaged, then the bargeboards, the new ones, were damaged heavily and the floor on the side in front of the rear wheels was damaged as well on the right-hand side,” explained McLaren team boss Andreas Seidl when asked by Speedcafe.com about the damage to Ricciardo’s car.
“So, huge loss, probably seven/eight tenths a lap, plus obviously the consequences this has done on the stint.”
